The Linen Committee washes and irons the liturgical linens for St. Lawrence Martyr Parish. The importance of this ministry is one that is rarely recognized but most essential.
The most sacred part of the Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist when we as Catholics partake of the Body and Blood of Christ. As Catholics, we revere the Eucharist. Utmost devotion is given to its care and preparation. The use of altar linens is employed to that end including the Corporal and Purificator cloths and and Lavabo towels.
Each week, we alternate who prepares the linens at their own home. Usually, a volunteer does this once a month.
We are currently seeking additional people to help with this ministry.
